She told me that in fact it wasn't a mole, it was a skin tag and that it was harmless. You can have them removed, but apparantly they are liable to grow back. As mine isn't on show all the time, I'm not bothered but, in answer to your question, no, they're not dangerous. But get your doctor to check anything out you're concerned about : )
I had a couple of tiny ones - no more than 2mm in length - on the side of my neck... and being a 'typical man' (makemesmile) I just pulled them off. They bled for a short time but healed quickly and I have no scarring. At the docs they freeze them off with liquid nitrogen... or tie them off with a bit of cotton thread.
